MANILA, Philippines (Eagle News) — Malacañang welcomed on Thursday, October 3 the ‘very good’ +64 net satisfaction rating that President Rodrigo Duterte earned in his first three months in office.
According to the Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, 76 percent of the 1,200 adults interviewed nationwide were satisfied, 11 percent were dissatisfied and 13 percent were undecided regarding President Duterte’s performance from July to September.
The SWS data showed that President Duterte had a better score than former presidents Corazon Aquino’s ‘very good’ +53 net satisfaction rating; Joseph Estrada’s ‘very good’ +60; Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s ‘moderate’ +24; and Benigno Aquino III’s ‘very good’ +60.
Abella said President Duterte’s very good rating is backed up by the world bank report that the Philippine economy is expected to accelerate 6.4 percent this year.
Abella said that despite criticisms on President Duterte’s war on drugs, the survey proved that people still trust him.
